Menopause is weird. If you\u2019re a human woman, you\u2019re born with every egg you\u2019ll ever have in your ovaries. By the time you reach your fifties, every egg is gone. You stop getting your period. As your hormone levels change, you experience symptoms ranging from hot flashes to a loss of bone density. We don\u2019t know much about it, because only humans and some whales<\/a> experience it. There’s also a gap in research<\/a> specifically for women’s health.<\/p>\n

A slew of recent initiatives, from both the public and private sectors, are trying to change this. Last year, First Lady Jill Biden launched the White House Initiative on Women\u2019s Health<\/a> to help close the research gap on conditions like menopause. Also, if you own an Apple Watch, you can opt in to contribute your data to the Apple Women\u2019s Health Study<\/a>, designed to advance the understanding of menstrual cycles.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, smart-ring manufacturer Oura<\/a> announced its first Perimenopause Report<\/a>, which aggregates long-term data from 100,000 de-identified Oura ring wearers to help understand how perimenopause and menopause might affect your day-to-day life.<\/p>\n
